    Anyone using TradeNavigator?

    Geting ready to take another trial with TN. Like the order dome but charts don't have the volume studies I like. Anyhow it should be reliable now as Transact reportedly got all the Trademaven software and the changes they make for TM reversed out of their servers. Since they did that my...

    Tell me about North Carolina

    Haven't lived in NC but very close to there in VA and TN and have visited there a lot. The East coast is more humid than the west, but winters are very mild in NC. Hurricanes are not a big problem inland as far as Charlotte, though occassionally you get some pretty strong wind off of one. If...

    TM and Transact terminate relationship!

    I don't know what's wrong with the TA servers, they used to be so rock solid. Was led to believe it was a conflict with the way TM counted volume V. the way TA does. But without TM the crashes have if anything increased. Today I got an email from Genesis that they are pulling their Trade...

    with $2000 can i trade the ES , NQ , YM

    Traded on a simulator. If you want to put money in IB you can have a free datafeed. QuoteTracker will give you free charts. Ninja Trader has a great simulator that uses their data. For $50 a mo. you can see for yourself. But with only 2-3K you'll probably have to daytrade with a company...

    Am I responsible for faulty Trademaven?

    Why do you keep calling TradeMaven when its TransAct that you need to speak to? TA tech support (312) 431-1901. I got through immediately this AM when they lost their feed.

    Am I responsible for faulty Trademaven?

    When you have a glitch, call the broker first to get you flat. Then call the software vendor and deal with the softwaree glitch. Another way to backup this situation is to download TransAct's DOM. You don't have to trade off of it, just minimize it and bring it up if there's a glitch...

    Trading with Market Profile

    The settlement bar is where after a full day's trading, the market settles at a fair value for current conditions. Overnight and the open will see the market try to facilitate trade by moving one direction or the other away from accepted value. If the Buyer or sellers are unable to...

    Trading with Market Profile

    The Initial Balance will set the stage for the day. Generally the H, L or both are established in the first hour. The first area of the day to watch is where the current day trades in relation to the settlement bar (last 15 min bar) of the prior day. At least this is my starting refernce...

    This mkt is the most inconsisten thing I"ve ever seen.

    Nope. never heard of Angell. Just look at the data in the first hr and determine what type of market to expect. Play it accordingly.

    Toad's Experience

    Look forward to reading it OZ. Maybe we should all post our blatant acts of trading stupidity and get someone to publish it. "How I went brain-dead in the markets and lived to tell about it."

    Toad's Experience

    I think you learned more about yourself than you did about trading futures indexes. It's a great step toward success to learn your own strengths and weakness. However, I don't think you have much to offer in a book. As for me, I'd rather read a story of one who overcame failure, not a book...

    This mkt is the most inconsisten thing I"ve ever seen.

    The same way he's traded for the last several years. Adjusts the closeness of entries/targets according to expanding or contracting Average Trading Range and average rotations. But otherwise, sell the H, Buy the L. Trade the edges of consolidation but be ready to go with breakouts through S/R...

    Trading with Market Profile

    Mokwit, TradeMaven has tools that I think you can use to determine what you ask for. also, "Tomh," in the IOAMT hotcomm room designed a program called "Tapereader" that you may be interested in.

    scalping the e-mini

    Don't think Bill trades the simulator any more. Just trading his real account. He used to trade both simutaneously. He shows charts now and calls out his trades.

    scalping the e-mini

    Don't think we're on the same wave length. If an undercapitalized trader begins with $5K and buys 2 contracts @ $2K you have $1,000 headroom. -10 pts and he's at 0. Buy 2@$500 you have $4K headroom.

    scalping the e-mini

    You're off track. $2000 ES contract @ IB wins/loses $50 per pt. $500 contract at TransAct, Velocity or whomever, wins/loses $50 a point. Usually the $500 margins are limited to 50 contracts and good only for day trading, not overnight.

    No, not unless it's changed lately.
